St. Malachy's Memorial High School

Welcome to the St Malachy's Memorial High School Guidance Department
(For scholarship and application information and other opportunities, see the links at the bottom of this page.)

Our caring and knowledgeable Guidance Counselors are Ms. Jennifer Craft and Ms. Jennifer Rouse. Guidance Counselors provide both intervention and prevention service for personal, social, educational, and career-related issues. Tasks such as timetabling, university and college applications, graduation, career planning, personal counseling, new student registration, maintenance of student records, liaison with feeder schools, etc. are also functions of the office. They also provide information about scholarships and financial assistance, as well as job search techniques, developing and maintaining resumes and information about the job market. Counselors identify at-risk students and ensure that programs are put in place to match these students’ needs. Counselors work in conjunction with the Resource Department, teachers and other support staff, and the Administrative Team to ensure a quality high school experience for each student.

Our counselors may be reached by calling the school or by email at: Jennifer.Craft@nbed.nb.ca or Brad.Stevens@nbed.nb.ca.
